Wonderful, well equipped cottage

We absolutely loved our stay here. Was so quiet, so many wild birds flying around us and the view was amazing. We highly recommend this superb, unique property and we will come back longer next time. Make sure you book ahead for dinner at Hapuku Kitchen to the Friday Supper Club. It was the best time ever.

Kaikoura Cottage

An old "dog friendly" cottage that has been modernized with double glazed windows, heat pump, new appliances (fridge, microwave, stove, tv ....). Very comfortable stay. It is opposite the boat launch and they launch boats from 4:00 am so take some earplugs. Good value for money.

Peaceful in South-Bay Kaikoura

Tucked away in South Bay, Kaikoura, the Bay Cottages offered us a relaxing stay. Our cottage was spacious, the kitchen well-equipped, the living area and the bed comfy. Everything was very clean and tidy. Its in a great location to explore the Kaikoura area. Only a short drive away from downtown or a walk over the hill. we enjoyed our stay and can only recommend it.
